+Dirk Talamasca what's your connection to Clearwater? I dont' remember how I found them. I remember I wanted a tophat and I was living in Long Beach, CA at the time. I searched the internet for local hat stores. Time and time again, these stores had cheaply made hats in the $20 to $75 range. They felt cheap, felt like something for Halloween; not for regular use.

Somehow Clearwater got on my radar and I took the risk. It paid off quite well.
